Howdy,
Some news on our end - J.L. Wright & Co. is now an authorized dealer for Schwarz Etienne, and the only one in Texas.
They're a small independent in La Chaux-de-Fonds, founded in 1902, and nearly every part of their watches is made within their own group of workshops there: the movements and micro-rotors, the bridges and plates, the escapement, the case parts, and even the hairsprings.
That last one is rare. Most of the industry buys hairsprings from outside suppliers, and only a handful of watchmakers anywhere produce their own. Output is a few hundred watches a year, so you'll rarely see one in person.
Our first pieces are on their way to Houston now. If you'd like to see them when they land, reply here, text 713-364-9558 or email me at jacob.wright@jlwrightco.com

For those who already know the brand, I'd like to hear how you came across them. For everyone else, happy to answer questions.
Gig 'em,
Jacob Wright '18
